Judicial Conduct Commissioner Act 2015

The Governor may, by instrument in writing made at the time a person is appointed to be the Commissioner, apply the

Judges' Pensions

Act 1971 to or in relation to the Commissioner as if the

Commissioner were a Judge as defined in that Act and service as the

Commissioner were judicial service as defined in that

Act.

The instrument may—

impose conditions on the application of the

Judges' Pensions

Act 1971 (including a condition that the Act will only apply if the person is made a Judge following his or her term of office as

Commissioner); and

apply the Judges' Pensions

Act 1971 subject to any modifications specified in the instrument.

Unless the Governor otherwise directs, no pension is to be payable under the Judges' Pensions

Act 1971 if the Commissioner vacates the office due to insolvency or conviction or sentencing for an offence or is removed from office.

If a person who is or has been the Commissioner is appointed as a

Judge as defined in the Judges' Pensions

Act 1971 and was, immediately before being so appointed, in receipt of a pension under that Act, that pension ceases on the appointment.
